LETRAS DE CANCIONES:
CANCIONES:
"Shape Of Things"
The Yardbirds
Shapes of things before my eyes,
Just teach me to despise.
Will time make men more wise?
Here within my lonely frame,
my eyes just heard my brain.
But will it seem the same?
(Come Tomorrow) Will I be older?
(Come Tomorrow) May be a soldier.
(Come Tomorrow) May I be bolder than today?
Now the trees are almost green.
But will they still be seen?
When time and tide have been.
Fall into your passing hands.
Please don't destroy these lands.
Don't make them desert sands.
Chorus, Lead.
Soon I hope that I will find,
Thoughts deep within my mind.
That won't displace my kind.
"Still I'm Sad"
The Yardbirds
(Paul Samwell-Smith / Jim McCarty)
See the stars come joining down from the sky,
Gently passing, they kiss your tears when you cry.
See the wind of summer blow your hair upon your head,
See the rain, the falling rain, it's rain.
Still I'm sad.
Oh my flowers, my tears just falling two days,
we are driving the night to find they are lost.
Flower, flower the wind is blowing,
time into my heart.
When the wind blows hard, we are apart.
Still I'm sad,
Still I'm sad.
Still I'm sad.
"Little Soldier Boy"
The Yardbirds
(Keith Relf / Jim McCarty / Jimmy Page)
Little wooden soldier boy,
How he's bored to be a toy.
Sitting on the mantelpiece,
Was not his idea of peace.
So one night at half past one,
He ordered all the toys to come.
He told them all a good game to play,
Next day.
The teddy bears and wind-up toys,
Together made a lot of noise.
The other side formed into ranks,
Proud 'cause they had plastic tanks.
High up on the shelf to see,
The soldier had to jump with glee.
At last before his eyes he saw,
A real war.
With a battle raging on the floor,
The soldier boy was urging more.
Soon the floor was strewn with bits,
Fur and stuff and building kits.
The soldier boy was feeling high,
As smoke clouds rolled across the sky.
He gave a last triumphant cry,
And fell into the fire.
"Evil Hearted You"
The Yardbirds
(Graham Gouldman)
Evil hearted you.
You always try to put me down,
With the things you do,
And words,
You spread around against me.
Evil hearted you.
You kept,
Kidding me along,
With your phoney smile,
And with,
Your siren song smiling, beguiling,
You lead me on 'til all hope's gone,
Persuading, degrading,
On my knees I try to please.
But I love you,
Just the same,
And I want you,
To remain,
By my side,
And you'll see,
Just how much you,
Mean to me.
Evil hearted you.
You always try to put me down,
With the things you do,
And words,
You spread around against me,
About me.
What would you,
Do without me?
Smiling, beguiling,
You lead me on 'til all hope has gone.
"Train Kept A-Rollin' "
The Yardbirds
Composición: Howard Kay / Lois Mann / Tiny Bradshaw
Well on a train I met a dame
She rather handsome
We Kinda looked the same
She was pretty from New York City
I'm walking down that old fair lane
I'm in heat, I'm in love
But I just couldn't tell her so
I said train kept a rolling all night long
Train kept a rolling all night long
Train kept a rolling all night long
Train kept a rolling all night long
With a heave and a ho
But I just couldn't tell her so, no, no, no!
Well get along
Sweet little woman get along
On your way get along
Sweet little woman get along
On your way
I'm in heat I'm in love
But I just couldn't tell her so, no, no, no!
Yeah, train I met a dame
She rather handsome
We Kinda looked the same
A she were pretty from New York City
I'm walking down that old fair lane
I'm in heat I'm in love
But I just couldn't tell her
So I said train kept a rolling all night long
Train kept a rolling all night long
Train kept a rolling all night long
Train kept a rolling all night long
I'm in heat with a hoe
But I just couldn't tell her, no, no, no, no!
Well get along
Sweet little woman get along
On your way get along
Sweet little woman get along
On your way
I'm in heat I'm in love
But I just couldn't tell her
Well we made a stop in Albuquerque
She must thought I was a real cool jerk
Climbing off the train and looking handsome
Looking so good jack couldn't let it go
Oh, but I just couldn't tell her
So I said train kept a rolling all night long
Train kept a rolling all night long
Train kept a rolling all night long
Train kept a rolling all night long
I'm in heat I'm in love
But I just couldn't tell her, no, no, no!
